Free Copy of SunFlower from Matthieu Cormier for all MDN Members

Today we are pleased to announce that any existing member of the Mac Developer Network and any new member who joins before the 31st December 2008 is entitled to a FREE copy of SunFlower from Matthieu Cormier.

SunFlower monitors web pages for changes. It saves a snapshot of the page and then compares that snapshot to snapshots in the future. You are notified when snapshots are different and can quickly examine the changes.

You might want to know when a company posts an opportunity on their site. You might want to know when that super hip clothing company has some new threads. You might want to know when your favourite indie record label has a new release. You may be interested when an under the radar startup publishes a press release or a teaser page finally changes. These are just some examples where SunFlower is useful.
